The free trade agreement with the United States has not been adopted as of today, precisely because of the violations of human rights still taking place in Colombia. Although it is claimed that huge progress has been made in the free trade agreement with the European Union, a number of parliamentarians have decided not to sign the agreement because of the human rights violations. They realize now that the DAS was also investigating some members of Congress, and they say that until there is real progress in terms of justice and the protection of human rights, they will not agree to negotiate with a country that does not respect the rights of workers.
